| Association
Description |
| Founded in 1982, the ESD Association is a professional voluntary association
dedicated to advancing the theory and practice of electrostatic discharge
(ESD) avoidance. From fewer than 100 members, the Association has grown
to more than 2,000 members throughout the world. From an initial emphasis
on the effects of ESD on electronic components, the Association has
broadened its horizons to include areas such as textiles, plastics,
web processing, cleanrooms, and graphic arts. To meet the needs of a
continually changing environment, the Association is chartered to expand
ESD awareness through standards development, educational
programs, local chapters, publications, tutorials,
certification, and symposia. |
| |
| A World-Wide Organization |
| Although founded and
headquartered in the United States, the ESD Association has a strong
international flavor. Its members come from more than 30 countries
throughout the world. They serve on Association Standards Committees,
present technical papers at the annual EOS/ESD Symposium, and provide
the communication links with similar organizations in other countries. |
| |
| The Association has established informal and formal relationships
with similar organizations in various countries. The formal relationships
include the Reliability Center of Japan, Productivity Standards Board
(PSB) in Singapore, Electronics Industry Association of Japan (EIAJ),
ESD Forum of Germany, ESREF in Europe, and ABRICEM in Brazil. |
| |
| The ESD Association has the responsibility of representing the interest
of the United States at the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) in the area of electrostatics. With the increasing need for global
harmonization in the area of standards, the international focus of the
ESD Association is vitally important. |
